🇬🇧 What does politics forget about the human person?
In Episode 5 of Universal Fraternity: An Idea That Could Change the World, we explore a deeper foundation for political life—one that goes beyond interests, power, and procedures.
Drawing on Jacques Maritain’s personalism and the Christian tradition, this episode argues that human beings are not only individuals with needs, but persons who flourish through relationships and shared goods. When politics forgets this, people risk being reduced to statistics, spreadsheets, or instruments of policy.
The episode also revisits a neglected insight: freedom and equality can survive only when held together by fraternity—a shared sense of human destiny that resists both atomized individualism and coercive collectivism.
